Best Blenders for 2021 : KitchenAid KSB1570ER 5-Speed Blender

Blenders are now a days the primarily tools for smoothies and frozen cocktails but they can also blend everything from soups to muffin batter to pesto to hummus to BBQ sauce. With a good blender in your kitchen, you can vastly expand your recipe repertoire.

Before buying a good blender, it’s a good idea to understand how it differs from a good one. Meanwhile, the best juicers completely separate the fibrous pulp of fruits and veggies from the delicious nectar inside, a blender homogenizes everything: what you put in the jar comes out chopped so finely chopped it’s pourable.

For a full sized blender at a moderate price with the power to efficiently blend just about anything we recommend the KitchenAid KSB1570ER 5-Speed Blender. The Ninja Professional Plus Kitchen System with Auto-iQ (BN801) is a blender that can double as a food processor. It’s not cheap but you get two appliances in one.

h it’s less than $100, this countertop blender can handle most blending chores. The unique Soft Start feature pulls food into the blades before the speed ramps up, which makes food prep more efficient. The die-cast metal base is both attractive and sturdy and comes in your choice of silver, white, black or red. You’ll find the BPA-free plastic pitcher is easy to lift and pour from even when it’s loaded up and that it cleans up beautifully. On the electronic control pad, there are five speeds to choose from in addition to “crush ice” and pulse modes. As it’s blending, what the company calls Intelli-Speed Motor Control senses the contents of the jug and helps the blender maintain speed.

There’s not a lot of frills here but this handsome KitchenAid does the basics and does them well. When it comes to using it there’s no learning curve and maybe best of all, it won’t set you back a bundle.
